Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
• 0.5 medium-sized white onion
• 1 whole jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 whole lime
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 whole garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly under cool water. Dice them into small, uniform pieces and transfer to a medium mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the onion. Add the diced onion to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 3

Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and ribs for a milder salsa, or leave them in for extra heat. Finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Chop the cilantro leaves finely and add to the mixture. Avoid using the stems for a clean flavor profile.

Step 5

Peel and mince the garlic clove. Stir it into the bowl with the other ingredients.

Step 6

Roll the lime on the countertop to release its juices, then cut it in half. Squeeze the juice into the bowl, ensuring no seeds are added.

Step 7

Sprinkle the kosher salt over the mixture and, if desired, drizzle in the olive oil for a richer texture.

Step 8

Using a spoon, gently toss all ingredients together until evenly combined.

Step 9

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional lime juice or salt, if needed.

Step 10

Let the salsa sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes.
